He had recently earned his gemologist diploma and was working at his first management post in this store.

Beware the Gemologist It had been a long, busy day for Terrill at his new jewelry store. The mounting seemed to be of a good quality. My fiance just broke up with me, he said. Brings back too many sad memories. I don't want to keep it anymore. But something about the stone did not quite feel right. Kingsley noticed that the facets did not quite look sharp enough, and that the stone had an almost imperceptible, greenish tint. It was his first day at the job as an assistant manager.

Just five minutes before closing time of the store, a well dressed man walked in. Meanwhile, the man was growing impatient.

He had a engagement ring in his hand. This ring cost me a great deal of money. Holding the ring out to John, he said, give me a good price for this.

A large, impressive affair, the ring had a big white stone in the center surrounded by small, colored stones.
